CLIBRANS’ LIST OF SHRUBS. 
CLIBRANS’ 
Special Collections 
SHRUBS. 
SELECTED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE TO SUIT PARTICULAR DISTRICTS, 
AS REQUIRED. OUR SELECTION ONLY. 
All the reasons for planting a greater diversity of trees apply as strongly to 
shrubs. In Evergreens, clients select Common Laurels, Common Hollies, Common 
Rhododendrons, Common Aucubas, and Cupressus I.awsoniana almost entirely. 
Similarly in Deciduous Shrubs the orders are for just a few well-known common kinds. 
This is all contrary to what should be done if gardens are to be of the greatest 
educational value, of the greatest interest, or the greatest beauty. 1 hat failures 
may result in some trials we know, but the success will far out-balance them. 
There have been a few notable revolts against the continued acceptance of the 
deadly uniformity that ignorance and rigid ideas produce in gardening matters, 
such as that against the old style of florists’ flowers, the bedding system of geraniums, 
calceolarias, lobelia, &c. A similar revolt against the continued acceptance of the 
commonplace in planting the same few varieties is needed in the matter of Frees 
and Shrubs, and to make diversity easier to accomplish we have reduced the prices 
of the finer varieties, and also offer cheap Collections so that they approximate 
to those of the common sorts, and so enable small and also wealthy buyers to make 
more trials, and the well-to-do buyers to order in still greater numbers such sorts 
as it is desired to try.
